Collecting WWII RLB Edge Weapons
Collecting German WWII memorabilia is a field that has been growing since the days the GI's rummaged around Europe bringing back military souvenirs. As the cities were occupied, the members of the various civilian groups wore their knives and daggers on their uniforms. Once the person was killed or captured, the American soldiers would often take the swords, knives and daggers from the enemy combatants and take them as war trophies. Eventually all these pieces came back to the United States where military history enthusiasts began to collect them.

In trying to determine if you should collect WWII German RLB edge weapons there are certain factors that should be considered. Imperial swords, bayonets and knives are rooted in a deep tradition of high quality blade making which goes back to the early 1800's.
